How exactly does your post help someone who's already bought the thing
and is having trouble? It doesn't, you even admit that in your first
sentance. Feel free to chime in on the "should I buy this" threads but
lets keep the "help" threads actually useful. It's nothing to do with
what I like or dislike hearing, it's about keeping these forums useful
and free of noise.

Actually it's pretty useful in that it indicates how far through a
known process it was able to get. That helps narrow down what the issue
might be. Would it be nice to get more fine-grained detail out of it?
Sure, although I think the detail from the light is actually pretty
similar to what you get on the SB3 display during setup. The day a
network device is able to say "hey - you have two DHCP servers on the
network, you might want to fix that" is the day a lot of helpdesk
people lose their jobs.
